Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM), 1991, vol. 33, issue 1, 1-22

Abstract: We define modified importance sampling and discuss conditions under which variance reduction is possible relative to the Crude Monte Carlo method. Application of modified importance sampling to the “what if” problem and to sensitivity analysis of discrete-event systems are given. Numerical results are presented as well.
